Mozambique: Mozambique's Logistics Investments Reach Approximately 4.5 Billion Dollars

What the report says

Mozambican President Daniel Chapo said on Wednesday that major logistics investments are underway across the country’s main transport corridors, with about $4.5 billion directed to the Nacala corridor in the northern province of Nampula. He made the remarks at the opening of the Transport and Logistics Investment Exhibition Forum, TRANS-LOG MOZ 2026, in Maputo, according to the report from Agencia de Informacao de Mocambique distributed by AllAfrica.

Chapo also said roughly $2 billion is being invested in the Maputo corridor and more than $1 billion in the Beira corridor in Sofala province. He described the projects as part of a broader effort to modernize transport and logistics infrastructure, improve competitiveness, and strengthen Mozambique’s role as a regional logistics hub for Southern Africa.

The reported plans include upgrades to the Port of Maputo, National Road 4, and border facilities linked to South Africa; development of the Dondo dry port and border connections around Machipanda for the Beira corridor; and rail and port improvements in Nacala. He said the Nacala program also includes modernization of the port, a special economic zone, and expanded industrial parks.

Chapo emphasized private-sector participation through public-private partnerships, concessions and build-operate-transfer models. He also called for institutional reforms, simpler procedures, transparency and digitalization, saying the corridors should support industrialization, job creation and deeper regional integration.
